Anglesey’s Beaches
Beaches
I’d highly recommend driving along the coast from Beaumaris to Penmon Point and priory.
The pebbled beach there has a real ‘ends of the earth’ feel to it. That said there is a small cafe above the beach. It is remote and rugged with great views of Puffin Island, the lighthouse and an ideal place to spot visiting dolphins.

We love visiting Newborough forest and beach. The beach is also known as Llanddwyn beach. It’s a gorgeous long stretch of sandy beach with sand dunes and the forest behind the beach and with views of the Snowdon mountain range. There is a car park which you access by driving through the forest which gives very easy access to the beach. There are toilet facilities and picnic tables in the car park. At the time of writing, it currently costs £5 for all-day parking. There is also a free car park at the top of the forest which is free but it is over a mile walk to the beach.
When the tide is out you can walk out to Llanddwyn Island which isn’t quite an island but is a beautiful walk and the small bay at the end is not only stunning but it is sheltered too. There are also wild ponies on the island and various historical buildings and monuments. It’s a lovely walk if you have kids that can walk a couple of miles each way or if you have a little one in a back carrier. It’s not a pram friendly walk and bear in mind there are no facilities except for in the main car park.

Benllech is one of the most popular of the island's beaches with fine golden sand and clear blue waters which are exceptionally safe for bathing and paddling.
There are excellent disabled facilities with access for both prams and disabled visitors.
At low tide the sand stretches for miles giving young children plenty of space in which to play or stroll.

Trearddur Bay, located a couple of miles from Holyhead, is one of Anglesey's best beaches. A vast expanse of sand overlooked by a large hotel and two golf courses, the beach is also the site of an ancient burial ground, excavated in 2003. There is a play area and a football pitch nearby.

Rhosneigr lies on Anglesey’s Western shore. With its two broad , sandy beaches, Traeth Crigyll and Traeth Llydan, it is a popular centre for all watersports.
Rhosneigr is superb for walking on the beach, with rocky outcrops and dramatic sand dunes. Also nearby is Llyn Maelog with it all access boardwalk for those wanting to watch nature.
Very popular with water sports enthusiasts, particularly windsurfers. There is even a surf school right on the beach. There is plenty of on street parking near by as well as a small village car park. Close to the beach are a number of small shops and cafes. The crepe cafe is one of our favourites and I love a browse in the little shops which sell a mix of outdoor clothing and gifts.
